Flatforms (No, I'm not barok - mash up of flat shoes and platforms) are said to be the hottest trend this year. I love ballet flats as much as I love wedges but... I don't think the flatform trend is for me. I don't find it hot and sexy at all. Plus as per MyShoephoria - "these towering flats are not anymore easier to walk in as well. Unlike sandals and heels, the chunky soles cannot bend with the natural movement of the foot and ankles. It’s still more possible to run in heels then running in solid blocks!" - Comfiness of the flats and wedge shoes is the primary reason why I love wearing them. So again, minus ganda points for flatforms.
Gwyneth Paltrow perfoms at the 53rd Grammy Awards with Cee Lo Green and the Muppets. She was looking so young and hip with those hot pink dangling earrings and multi-colored booties by Louboutin.

Speaking of ballet, BLACK SWAN starring Natalie Portman in her award winning performance as the prima ballerina, will be showing in Philippine cinemas starting February 23. Be one of the first people to watch it in the big screen during its sneaks on February 14 and 15. Natalie Portman won best actress in the recently concluded Golden Globes. She's also nominated for the Academy Awards as well as Darren Aronofsky for Best Director and Best Picture.
I can't get enough of wedge shoes!! I'm loving LANVIN's Spring 2011 peep toe wedge shoes. Each pair differ in texture, materials and colors. Which one do you like the most? :)
This year I developed an admiration and love for Kirkwoods. Living in a third world country and having a measly pay check can only make me dream of owning a pair. Hence, my blog for my frustration.
Nicholas Kirkwood for Prabal Gurung's Spring 2011 Collection
John Galliano for Christian Dior's Spring/Summer 2011
Despite the criticisms I actually like them. I'm loving the colors :)
I guess "wooven" is in season too. PRADA's collection also have similar wooven material.

I posted Kirkwood's Autumn/Winter 2010 collection earlier this afternoon while most of the people are talking about his designs for Rodante, Spring 2011. A number of international fashion bloggers have published their entries about them as well. So here it is too in excSHOESme :)
